I'm a bit of a beer snob, but I've mentioned that before.
I will drink mainstream beers if I have to, with some exceptions like the 'ice' beers.
But, I prefer a beer with flavor. I like a strong beer but not something with too much hops. I don't like the hopped up IPA beers, as a general rule. I do prefer a dark beer.
Also, I like the taste of the varied alcohols that I do drink.
I can appreciate good beer as well. I sort of have to travel to get good beer. Due to the tourism, there's some good beer in the village. But, there's an absolutely amazing selection of wines and beers at a place in Farmington.
They have a sweet collection of beers - hundreds of them.
They're also fairly close to the college - within easy walking distance.
That's kinda the point of drinking a lot of hard alcohol.
If you did it right, you'll have to be careful finding your way to bed.
Actually, I'm pretty good at not getting shitfaced. It means I drink less alcohol in total than I'd otherwise drink, but it means I can remember most of the important stuff and don't have a ton of regrets.
That's fine. We've had cultures of all types. We tend to keep politics and religion out of the threads.
We're really just about the music. I could give two shits about your viewpoints on things. They don't matter to me even in the slightest.
I speak from a point of privilege, I suppose. But, at the end of the day, there's literally fuck-all anyone here can do that will impact my lifestyle in a negative manner. There is, quite literally, fuck all that you can do that's going to matter to my life.
And that's pretty awesome.
Now, you should sign us a song and share it with us next Friday.
We think it's interesting. Sadly, our archivist died. We have a history of the threads going back to 2017.
Over the years, we've had hundreds of people participate.
Sadly, our participation rates have dropped in recent years - but that's okay. We're still having fun and we're still learning new things. We get to share with each other and learn from each other. We've developed true friendships, which is a rare thing to have happen on sites like this.
So, yeah, we think we have an interesting history. You should join us. It doesn't take much. Just grab your cell phone, download an app if you don't have one already, and sing us a song. We don't even care if you suck at singing, we're just happy you decided to share.
We've had great vocalists and shitty vocalists. We've had great guitar players and shitty guitar players. It's all good.
Hmm...
If you're one of those Christian people:
Psalm 98:4: "Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises!"
See? Even the Christian deity wants you to make joyful noises. It doesn't say 'skillful noises', just 'joyful'.
You can do a lot with tequila, though I think rum is used in more drinks. You can generally swap one for the other in a mixed drink. The taste will be a bit different but it's still going to result in an acceptable drink. They do tend to emphasise the sour tastes in tequila drinks.
The guitar thread goes all the way back to 2017. I joined Voat in 2014 or early 2015. I was one of the very first users. I had never had a Reddit account, which made me an outlier by itself. I just happened to hear about the site from either HN or Slashdot. I followed a link and the signup was broken. I refreshed every few days until it was working and open...
You might as well join us. It's not like we're going to stop, even though our participation levels are so much lower.
Back on old Voat, we'd have 400 to 500 comments in a semi-busy thread. We'd see maybe 20 to 30 tracks shared in a good thread.
Ah well...
We keep it going. You should join us.
Also, you should understand guitar more before making claims about the complexity. I have personally shared pieces where I'll give you $500 if you can match them. Unless you actually understand the instrument, you're not gonna be able to say what is difficult and what isn't.
I swear I've heard it before. But, you know my memory...
I'm gonna head to bed soon. It has been 2.5 hours, so that's a good thing. I'm starting to get tired, though the wine probably isn't helping a whole lot.
Yeah, I spent a long time working as a performing musician. That's from my retirement years, a stage in my life where I was helping the next generation of musicians make their living from their musicianship.

You can drink less and get drunk easier.
Beer is also full of calories. They're not even useful calories.

Years and years...
The guitar thread goes all the way back to 2017. I joined Voat in 2014 or early 2015. I was one of the very first users. I had never had a Reddit account, which made me an outlier by itself. I just happened to hear about the site from either HN or Slashdot. I followed a link and the signup was broken. I refreshed every few days until it was working and open...
The rest is just the history we already know.

COF (we still miss him) used to say that quite regularly.
As an aside, it seemed strange to miss a person I'd only known online. But, here we are.

I think I'd rather a wine tree - except grapes already grow on vines.
How about a rum tree?

This is upgoat, the replacement for Voat.
A tiny percentage of the people will know what parineum means - and those will only be the ones who looked it up first.

I will say that I'm amused as all fuck with the various posts to this site as of late.

That sounds like a hot and horrible experience. Then again, Texas is pretty horrible as it stands.

They've not been shared in a long time. I figured it was a good time to share them.
The AC/DC song isn't with me but was BDE on their own.
If you're curious, they're still doing just fine and still making a living from their musicianship.

AC/DC are fun to cover, as a general rule. They're not too complicated but they still made great songs.
